Notes from critics

This is an amazing port, but it should spend a few more years in your cellar to ensure it shines for that special occasion.

Deep dark ruby garnet, opaque core, purple reflections, brightening to the rim. Lightly savoury background of black forest berries, tobacco nuances, hints of blueberry confit and elderberries, slatey mineral notes. Powerful, substantial, vivid sweetness, supporting tannins, dark nougat on the finish, very good length, an imperious style, built for a long life.

Pure grape aromas that remind me of fermenting must but then goes to stems and dried flowers. Full-bodied, medium sweet with fine-grained tannins that coat your palate. Powerful and muscular yet remains agile and beautiful. Grows on your palate. Wonderful ripe fruit in the middle palate. Try after 2030
